Welcome.

"We" don't really prefer one or the other, as far as I know.  I guess 
the real problem is that you sort of need to pick one or the other as a 
default since many new users don't know the difference.  I guess if they 
know enough to know that they prefer KDE over GNOME, they can probably 
figure out how to switch.

Simply go into your package manager and uninstall GNOME and install KDE. 
 Everything else should just fall into place.

I think the logo predates pretty much every one on this list (now watch 
me be wrong about that).  I am not really sure.
